Employees at Caesars Windsor have a new three-year collective agreement.

Unifor Local 444, who represent the workers, say members voted 93 per cent in favour of the deal on Sunday.

Union members will see wage increases over the next three years.

Employees will also receive a signing bonus of $1,600 for full-time workers, $1,200 for part-time employees and $675 for casual employees.

Currently there are 600 employees on lay-off right now and the union says if you were laid off on a full-time status, you will also be entitled to the signing bonus.

There are roughly 1,800 unionized workers at Caesars Windsor.

“We would like to commend Unifor Local 444 and the entire bargaining team for their respectful and productive efforts in an agreement that is mutually beneficial for both, while balancing and recognizing the challenges our business has faced over the past few years,” said Caesars president Kevin Laforet, in a media release . 

“Our focus will continue to be on delivering great service as our business ramps back up, and we continue to welcome back more of our valued guests.”
